Occupied Jerusalem- Despite the large missile attacks launched by Tehran on Israel in response to the military operation.Rising lion“Which targeted Iranian territory, the number of Israeli dead remains relatively limited compared to the size of the destruction, which raises serious questions about the reality of damage, the degree of official transparency in Tel Aviv, and the ability of defense systems to withstand.
The data, which was allowed by the Israeli army spokesman, indicated that more than 1050 aircraft were launched towards Israel, of which 570 were able to penetrate the airspace and fired 591 missiles. According to reports, more than 62 locations were destroyed in different regions inside Israel.
losses
He was not officially announced accurately, and the Israeli authorities were satisfied with partial or postponed reports. But according to data documented by the “National Security Research Institute” of Tel Aviv University, the data were as follows:
- 29 Israelis were killed by Iranian missiles.
- Record 3508 varying injuries.
- 15,000 people displace their homes as a result of destruction or security danger.
The property tax authorities in Israel recorded more than 41,650 demands for compensation for damage to private and public property, as a result of the Iranian missile and running attacks. It is estimated that the number of these cases may exceed 50 thousand in the coming days.
It is noteworthy that these numbers do not include the indirect damage to the Israeli economy, especially the losses incurred by small and medium commercial interests, as a result of forced closure, the decline in economic activity, and the state of paralysis that affected many sectors in the targeted areas.
In light of this unprecedented size of the attacks, a clear contradiction emerges between the breadth of destruction and the number of declared dead. This raised doubts about the extent of the transparency of the official novel, amid increasing indicators that feed the hypothesis of partial or deliberate blackout by the Israeli authorities.
It was noted that it was delayed in announcing the number of dead and wounded, despite the speed of the spread of pictures and clips documenting severe damage in residential areas. Unofficial field sources, including reporters and local journalists, also reported that there were widespread destruction scenes in manufactured neighborhoods, without being met by official statements confirming that victims occurred, despite the presence of strong evidence of the possibility of deaths.
This difference between field reality and government statements reinforces the belief that the Israeli leadership is keen to control the media narrative, whether for reasons related to preserving internal morale, or security and political accounts in the context of the ongoing war.
High threat
The accumulated data show a high level of the threat posed by Iranian missiles, especially in the southern and central regions, and in the heart of the Greater Tel Aviv. The huge number of warnings reflects a state of continuous attrition war on the home front, as Iran systematically seeks to exhaust the Israeli defense and civil system.
This strategy is manifested by diversifying the paths of the attack and its media, whether by fine missiles, drones, or even attempts by simultaneous bombing on several fronts, in an attempt to strike the strategic depth of Israel, paralyze its ability to withstand and control the path of war.
With the continued extensive Iranian strikes, a more detailed picture of the size of the attacks and their geographical distribution, as 591 missiles were launched since the beginning of the attack, and Israel recorded 19 thousand and 434 warnings in various regions.
The attacks also included penetration of the Israeli atmosphere by explosive aircraft, and a precise missile shelling on economic and military targets, which raised the level of damage in some vital areas despite the objections they carried out Israeli air defense systems.
According to the data of the Israeli home front, the warnings were distributed as follows:
- The south acquired 44.3% of its total, indicating a clear focus of attacks on areas such as Gaza coverThe Negev, and the towns close to the border with Jordan and Sinai.
- The center recorded 41.3% of the warnings, including the Greater Tel Aviv, the country, and the sand, as the attacks targeted vital centers of a strategic and security economic nature. This reflects a direct attempt to strike the Israeli depth and destabilize the home front.
- North received 14.3% of the warnings, and the strikes extended parts of the upper Galilee and the area HaifaWhich indicates threats from the Lebanese front, or through rocket -propelled rockets from Syria.
The Israeli defense systems estimated the rate of objection between 85% and 90%, which is a relatively high rate in view of the density of fire and the multiplicity of ammunition from missiles, drones, and accurate projectiles, according to the Israeli Air Force.
Strict control
Strong military control was imposed on the publication of photos and videos from the sites of strikes, especially in the center and south of the country, to avoid influencing the internal morale, and to protect its image as a regional deterrent in front of its opponents in the region, especially after an attack of this direct size from Iran, according to reports of the newspaper “Haaretz”.
This raises several questions, the most prominent of which are, why are the material damage enormous while human losses are limited despite doubts about the accuracy of the official numbers? There are reasons that may explain the low numbers of victims, according to Israeli readings and analyzes, and are summarized in pre -preparation and early warning systems.
According to the newspaper “Yediot Aharonot”, Israel benefited from prior intelligence information about what Iran planned, which allowed a widespread evacuation of the major cities and sensitive areas in the Greater Tel Aviv and Haifa region, while early warning systems demonstrated their effectiveness in warning before the rockets and drones.
The daughter of Israel is a wide system of Shelter The fortifications are within residential buildings, although insufficient, especially in the southern and central regions and the Greater Tel Aviv region, knowing that many damages were concentrated in uninhabited infrastructure at the moment of missile attacks such as factories, roads and civilian and government facilities at night hours.
Despite the density of fire and missiles, systems such as “succeeded”David spray“And” Hitz “and”Iron Dome“In an objection to an unpopular percentage of threats, albeit at a very high cost, as the drones were disturbed and misleading in the air, which reduced their injury to direct vital targets.
The “Rising Assad” operation is the largest test of the Israeli home front in terms of fire density, missiles and the “enemy” direct nature, which is Iran, and not armed organizations and resistance factions, this is the first time since October 6, 1973 war In which Israel is fighting a war with a state and a regular army.
While indicators indicate widespread destruction in the Israeli depth, especially in non -central areas, the number of declared victims remains less than what was expected to be caused by such missile attacks, which reinforces the question: Is Abib keep their losses?
However, the military censorship, the political interests of the government and the challenges of the internal front may make revealing the full truth a deferred issue, or conditional on a later political scenario, especially in light of internal tension in Israel and the implications of the war on the government and the army.
